Black Coyote

Black Coyote (died 29 December 1890) was a deaf Lakota man (the deaf-mute son of Sitting Bull) whose refusal to give up his gun to the US Army led to the Wounded Knee massacre, in which he was killed.

Biography
Black Coyote was born to the Lakota Sioux tribe, the son of Sitting Bull, and he was a deaf-mute man. He was one of the Lakota who left for the Pine Ridge Reservation alongside Chief Spotted Elk, and he was one of the Native Americans that was accosted by US Army troops in 1890 at the Wounded Knee camp when the soldiers attempted to force the Indians to surrender. A deaf and mute Black Coyote did not hear the order to give up his weapon, and he accidentally fired it, leading to the American troops massacring the Indians. Black Coyote was killed in the ensuing massacre.
